Reflecting on the last 12 hours as a @Groundswellaguk first-timer. Excellent to be around such a positive and tenacious segment of the industry. Extremely exciting and reassuring ideas and activities. Reminding me why I do what I do. 10/10 Lunch options. 11/10 sunburn.

Cherry stuff in the ES. Hoping the powers that be are listening. Also hoping that the inhabitants of London don’t think they have to wait for our (uninspiring) leaders.

Very pleased to have launched this yesterday. Looking forward to working with our Farmers and Suppliers to help them stay ahead of the curve as the project develops. Thanks to @thelandapp and @UK_CEH and for helping to make it happen!

We try our hardest to look after the crops we grow but sometimes we get tripped up. Loads of great #onions left here for #gleaning but too many suffered from the extreme 40+ degree heat meaning we can’t store or sell them. Please come & help yourselves #backbritishfarmers

What Suffolk lacks in hills, it makes up for in evening skies

You might not agree with it all, I’m not sure I do. And some of it may be fairly impractical (i.e. an 88% reduction in sugar beet production = 100% in reality). But this is well worth reading. (Don’t lose faith in the 125 pages, it’s worth it)

Our new report, Feeding Britain from the Ground Up, finds that if we change the way we farm and what we eat, we could improve our health, protect nature, combat climate change and be more food secure as a nation. Read it here: sustainablefoodtrust.org/our-work/feedi…

There is a lot of mythology about soils. Using a very large dataset from China a big gang of colleagues tried to put some numbers on why good soil management is important for yields and resilience: See results here: nature.com/articles/s4155…

This underlines a point I’ve made time & time again. We need to stop talking about “food poverty” which tries to shift the responsibility to the food industry. It is Income Poverty full stop which manifests itself in food, housing & fuel challenges. A disgrace in the UK in 2022
Joseph Rowntree Foundation@jrf_uk

🚨 NEW: 600,000 people will be pulled into poverty due to inaction at the #SpringStatement We've modelled the impact of the failure to increase benefits in line with inflation, along with the 1.25% ⬆️ in National Insurance and change to the earnings threshold at which it is paid

This is my attempt at food photography- a ladybird engorging on an aphid. I’m hoping it wasn’t a chance find and was being replicated across the farm! A much more satisfying image than a perfectly arranged flambé with a well constituted jüs @BBRO_Beet

Who doesn't love a sweet Australian import, eh? But actual imported Aussie cane sugar is way more complicated. The future trade deal with 🇦🇺 is right now being thrashed out in the Cabinet. And, I just can't get it out of my thread...👇

Having wrongly thought Suffolk was heading to tier 4 (and we’d be having Christmas dinner for 2) we went ‘essentials’ shopping. We came away with red wine, maple-syrup smoked bacon, a Waitrose mag, brandy butter and to top it off... a sodding guinea fowl (🇬🇧 of course). Ashamed.

1/2 George’s successful PhD defence this week has got me thinking. George is the 4th of 4 students sponsored jointly by @BBRO_Beet and UoN. @WalkerMacEwan’s vision to train the applied crop scientists of the future has paid off in spades. All 4 are now supporting UK agriculture..
